Tools -> Settings -> Formats -> Write for heic, jpgxl and avif

[herb]

Hello Pierre,

With post 003518 "Saving to these formats will discard any existing metadata!" I learned from your answer that the formats avif, jpgxl and heic keep XMP and also Exif metatdata when being written.

(1)
But when I look into Tools -> Settings -> Formats -> Write I do not see any checkbox for metadata to be kept in case of writing.
Is this a bug or is it a misunderstanding on my side?

(2)
Opening Tools -> Settings -> Formats -> Write the format avif is pre-selected and I see checkboxes for metadata to be written.
Then I select another format and again I select format avif
No no checkboxes are displayed anymore.

Best regards
herb
